All things *green* and lovely!

I never considered March to be one of my favorite months of the year, but I'd have to say that it wins over January and February by far!  It's all that promise of newness and growth and - let's be honest - Spring Break.  Holla'!  I'm really looking forward to seeing GREEN this year.  Flowers, leafy trees, and shamrocks really speak to me :)

Speaking of green, I am a HUGE  Emerald City fan.  Love me some Wizard of Oz!  I even incorporated a Wizard of Oz themed unit in my classroom for the past two years.  My kids loooooved it and it gave me a great opportunity to incorporate creative writing into our curriculum and expose kids to one of my favorite stories.  {My Wizard of Oz unit can be found HERE.}

                             

  

Besides loving the Wizard of Oz, I also LOVE Wicked.  I've seen it thrice and every time I want to get on that stage and defy gravity with Elphaba and Gah-linda.  My sister and I *might* sing that song into wooden spoons at the top of our lungs.  In front of our family.  Not embarrassing at all.

And, now, low and behold, this...

!!!!!!!  

So, to make March even better Oz The Great and Powerful comes out on the 8th.  Stop. It. 

And, then, there's St. Patrick's Day.  

I like to be festive, what can I say?  I also like to get the free green soft serve ice cream at Ameristop.  FREE.  

If you're getting centers ready for the coming month, check out my St. Patty's Day Packet O' Fun. Clean, green fun.  

March is going to be busy for the Mullins fam.  Between coaching my Academic Team in Governor's Cup, to prepping for Literacy Night, to packing our home up in preparation for our move, to all the spring festivities, we are going to be seven shades of green come April!  Shoo!  

Are you as excited for March as I am?!
